Tamie Cluck left her 8-year-old Sheltie outside to play Wednesday afternoon. Fifteen minutes later, her husband found Dallas with an arrow in its stomach.

“I was just bawling. Who in their right mind could shoot a dog in their own back yard that is fenced in?” Cluck said.

Cluck rushed Dallas to the veterinarian. Luckily, the arrow did not hit any vital organs.

“He got really, really lucky because they said another half-inch and it would have killed him,” Cluck said.

The Cass County Sheriff's Office is looking for culprits while Cluck is doing anything she can for someone with information to come forward.

“I don't care if it's an accident or not, they still did it so they need to pay for it,” Cluck said.

Cluck said she is going to hang posters around Beaver Lake, hoping the pictures of her dog’s stitches and scars will guilt someone into confessing. As for Dallas, he is recovering at home, and Cluck hopes he returns to his normal self soon.

“He's always at the door wanting outside, constantly. Now, I'm just wondering if he's still going to do that when he's better,” she said.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Cass County Sheriff’s Office at 402-296-9370.
